"p.a.mb.'s reference to Obama as BHO, maybe it's just me but the H in BHO since this is the first time I've seen it in this context here isn't too subtle a reference to his gasp horrors middle name..."

Uh, sorry to take this sturm und drang to a lighter place, but would you rather the LW had written his initials *without* the H?

Poor Obama. This guy was blessed with a lot of political gifts, but his name isn't one of them. I support Hillary all the way, but if I were leaning instead toward him, I would try to coin something a little more like 'Bama (pronounced like "Bamma"). You know, football and all that.

Just a correction to Ethel M. Michelle Obama was asked whether she would "work for" Hillary Clinton if she became the nominee. (A rather presumptuous question at this stage of the game, and rather unfair.) Her answer was tentative, naturally, and her response was "I'll have to think about it."

Please, don't try to take the position that Bill would have behaved any differently. (Or if he would, might he be lying?)

Remember, she has two little girls at home. Support/voting for someone, and actual working and campaigning for someone are very different things.

Funny how the left, and by extension, Obamabots, liked Krugman when he slammed Bush, but now that he is pointing out the unnatural zeal of Obama's fans, he is getting slammed in turn. As a witness to rude and unruly Obama campaign workers at the PATH station in Jersey City, NJ, I can personally attest to Krugman's observation...

“I don’t seek the presidency on the presumption that I am blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save my country in its hour of need. I seek the presidency with the humility of a man that cannot forget that my country saved me!”

~Senator John McCain (R) at his victory speech on February 12, 2008 after winning the Potomac Primary!

Hmmm...I wonder who he is talking to!?

………as if Saint Obama is going to be able to fight off this kind of wisdom that is rooted from real experiences in life, years in government, and a being a POW for 5 years! He has been experiencing longer than Obama is old!

What? Are you going to disrespect him like you did the Clintons? That will never work!

Let's See If The Senator Clinton Supporters Will Go Out Into The Cold To Support Mr Obama,Like The Rest Of His Cult.I For One Wouldn't Vote For Mr Obama,If He Promised Me I Could Be His Vice President,I'd Vote For Mr Mcain And I Recommend That Other Clinton Supporters Do The Same,Why I Feel Like This It's True That You Can't Say Anything Negative About Mr Obama,Without His Supporters Reversing It Into Something Negative Against Sentator Clinton,Mr Obama And His Staff Is The One's That Started This Racial Issue Business,The Switch From The Politics Of Hope,The Allowing The Latino's Driving License To Illegal Immigrants,Reciting Republicans Propaganda,Not Being Able To Actually Be Precise At Any Of The Debates,And I Could Go On And On,But I Want Because I Hate Even Using This Man's Name In A Sentence,So Let's See If He Can Get Senator Clinton's Supporters To Back This LIARS Candacy.

Why has no one surveyed the likelihood that Repulican operatives have been encouraging Republican caucus voters to cross-over,vote for Obama because they see Obama more vulnerable in November than Clinton ? And doe that also skew poll results that show Obama more likely to beat McCain?

Just because I agree with Krugman on one issue doesn't mean that I have to agree with him on every issue. It doesn't mean that I 'like' him, or that I'm his friend, or that I owe him some loyalty for having voiced some past opinions that I agreed with. It's called indpendent thought, and unless you are part of some 'Krugman-cult', or maybe you're a 'Krugabot', I don't understand your argument.

What is incredible is that the Clinton supporters only hear and see what they want. Didn't Clinton bring up the "slumlord" when asked about her tax forms. Didn't Clinton supporters say that Bill Clinton was blacker then Barack because Bill dated more black women.

That was from an exchange when Obama was dissing Clinton for working for Walmart. So the both were coming from the gutter if that's what you mean. So to criticize one candidate but not the other is from the "it's ok if my guy does it, but it's not if your guy does it" playbook.

As for the last comment, that was Andrew Young, veteran MLK's SCLC. He is a Clinton supporter, but I cannot find any documentation that states he is working in the campaign.

I hope that people can make the distinction.

For instance, think of all the comments people are saying about their candidates here. You cannot reasonably hold the candidate responsible, unless they are paid shills.

Now, I am sure we all think Walmart is a bad corporation. I know I do. But look at this headline from the WSJ:

Citing the increased demands of her husband’s presidential campaign, Michelle Obama quit the board of TreeHouse Foods, an Illinois company whose biggest customer is Wal-Mart Stores. The move clearly helps Sen. Barack Obama, a big critic of the giant retailer’s labor practices, by putting the Wal-Mart connection behind him.

Mrs. Obama didn’t put it that way, of course. As my campaign commitments continue to ramp up, it is becoming more difficult for me to provide the type of focus I would like on my professional responsibilities,” she said in a statement.

Last year, Mrs. Obama, a Harvard-trained lawyer and an administrator at the University of Chicago Hospitals, collected $51,200 from the company, according to the Obama’s tax returns. She recently has scaled back her hours at work to help her husband’s campaign. (See Obama’s tax return and tax summary.)

Just how big a deal was that for the campaign? Earlier this week on Tucker Carlson’s MSNBC show, columnist Lynn Sweet mentioned the Obama connection: By the way, in Trenton last week, Barack Obama proclaimed that he will not shop at Wal-Mart. His wife is on the board of a company that is a vendor to Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart could emerge as a second or third issue. It’s a litmus test of something.

You can find language to that effect on all sorts of media publications, dated around May 23, 2007.
